Abstract

The construction of a high-efficiency regional science and technology innovation (STI) cooperation network is critical for improving the overall performance of regional cooperation and boosting the development of regional communities. In recent years, digital technology application and innovation have offered an opportunity for the deepening of regional cooperation in STI. This paper discusses the basic elements and process mechanism of digital technology empowering regional STI, and the formation of cooperation efficiency and legitimacy from the new institutionalism perspective. Digital technology empowering regional science and technology cooperation is a complex governance system and dynamic process of change, which includes values, systems, organizations, technologies, resources, and other elements. Based on our study, digital technology-enabled regional cooperation in STI is a systematic structure that includes digital innovation, services, platforms, and governance as the basic elements. Digital technology empowers regional cooperation in STI by driving organizational reengineering, resource integration, institutional innovation, and network reconfiguration, which follow the dual logic of efficiency and legitimacy. This paper extends the research on the application of digital technology in regional cooperation in STI and enriches the research on the mechanism of digital technology in regional collaborative networks.
